Added Sugar Consumption and the Relationship with Mood Disorders in Women
Fish, Adi; George, Gretchen
Journal of Family and Consumer Sciences, v112 n2 p40-48 2020
This cross-sectional study examined the association between added sugar consumption and levels of depression in adult women (N=74). The 97-item online survey included Patient Health Questionnaire-9 depression scale, Block Fat/Sugar/Fruit/Vegetable Screener, added sugar knowledge questions, and a question regarding nutrition education referral during mental health treatment. A weak positive association between added sugar consumption and levels of depression was identified, r=389, p < 0.05. A majority of participants (67.5%) who sought mental health treatment were not referred to a nutrition professional. These findings underscore a need for nutrition educators and mental health professionals to work collaboratively for impactful patient well-being.
